It's easy to learn and fun to use. There is a lot of material regarding it on the net. The home page for Ruby is http://ruby-lang.org. Click on the "Documentation" link for lots of useful information. Of course, Google is a great source, too. Perhaps you'll want to try more than one language. Have fun!
Thanks for all suggestions. I find Ruby quite easy and it seems to fulfill my needs. I am just wondering whether there is a nice Linux gui for Ruby and whether one can use Ruby to write gui programs (with buttons, menus, etc.). Paul
